Dreiländerblick Perl Monument

In the border triangle of Germany, France and Luxembourg is the wine-growing community Perl. The landscape and views range from the Moselle with its vine-covered runs to the vast fields of the Saargau, rolling hills, colorful orchards and quiet forests. A great view into the border triangle!

The German section of the Way of St. James ends at the border triangle in Perl, if you come from Cologne (including via Prüm, Echternach and Trier) on a pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela. And - despite the Schengen Agreement with freedom of travel and the abolition of border controls - the pilgrim's pass is still an important document on the way :-)

The border square on the Hasenberg The Perler Hasenberg is one of the most sought-after vineyards in the entire region. It was not without reason that the then King of Prussia, Friedrich Wilhelm II, made claims to the vineyard at the Congress of Vienna in 1815 as part of the territorial distribution. He wanted this good location with its first-class wine to be part of his territory. The current, somewhat unusual, "square" border is due to this wish. As part of the Congress of Vienna, Luxembourg nominally became an independent Grand Duchy, which is linked to the Kingdom of the Netherlands in personal union under the kings of the House of Nassau-Orange. Unlike the other areas of the newly created kingdom, however, Luxembourg was part of the German Confederation. Source: Text information board
